Our Mission

Libertas is Freedom Tech infrastructure: a machine that converts global signals into understanding, coordination, action, and prototypes.

We track fast-moving developments in freedom tech and global civil liberties, translating them into high-signal content that can influence builders and decision-makers. We detect patterns and gaps — asking "what tools are missing?" — and convert insights into actionable project directions.

What We Do

Ingest

Continuously monitor curated sources: HRF, EFF, Bitcoin Magazine, OONI, Access Now, and more.

Classify

Score content for freedom relevance and credibility using Claude AI classification agents.

Publish

Generate insights and publish via RSS, JSON feeds, and optional email digests.

Generate Ideas

Synthesize patterns into project proposals and scaffold prototypes for human review.

Guiding Principles

Permissionless

All outputs accessible without accounts, paywalls, or centralized gatekeepers.

Open Source

Fully auditable, forkable, and extensible under permissive licensing.

Resilient

Automation keeps running under failures; publishing degrades gracefully.

Privacy-First

No tracking pixels, no surveillance analytics, minimal metadata storage.

Composable

Clean schemas, stable APIs, and machine-readable outputs for integration.

Tech Stack

Next.js 16

React 19 with App Router and Server Components for fast, SEO-friendly rendering.

Claude AI

Anthropic's Claude powers classification, summarization, and idea generation agents.

n8n

Open-source workflow automation orchestrating ingestion, processing, and publishing.

PostgreSQL

GCP Cloud SQL with pgvector for embeddings and semantic search capabilities.

Vercel

Edge-optimized hosting with automatic deployments on every push to main.

TypeScript

Strict mode with Zod schemas for end-to-end type safety and runtime validation.

The Team

Libertas is built by the Freedom Go Up (FGU) squad at StarkWare. We are engineers focused on building tools that enhance human freedom and sovereignty.

Our mission is rooted in cypherpunk principles: cryptography and code as tools for liberation. We believe freedom tech will save the world — and we're building the infrastructure to accelerate it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Libertas is an automated, privacy-preserving research and publishing platform for Freedom Tech. It continuously monitors curated sources, classifies content using AI, and publishes insights about sovereignty, censorship resistance, and civil liberties. Think of it as Freedom Tech infrastructure that converts global signals into actionable understanding.

Our system uses Claude AI to classify content based on freedom relevance and credibility scores. Content from high-trust sources (Tier 1) like HRF, EFF, and Bitcoin Magazine is processed with minimal filtering. Lower-tier sources face stricter relevance thresholds. Content meeting our quality gates is automatically published, while edge cases are queued for human review.

No. Libertas is built with privacy-first principles. We use no tracking pixels, no fingerprinting scripts, and no third-party analytics. Your reading habits are your own. All feeds are accessible without accounts or authentication.

Use our Submit form to share stories, project ideas, or feedback. All submissions are assessed by our AI pipeline for risk level and relevance. High-quality submissions may be processed into insights or project proposals. We accept anonymous submissions.

We focus on Freedom Tech topics including: Bitcoin, zero-knowledge proofs, censorship resistance, privacy-preserving communications, decentralized payments, digital identity and sovereignty, surveillance countermeasures, and activism technology. All content ties back to tech-enabled sovereignty and resistance to surveillance.
